2025 Bannockburn Gamay Geelong

2025 Bannockburn Gamay Geelong – Gamay is the only new variety to be introduced to the Bannockburn property since 1996. The first plot was grafted in 2019 and the potential for this wonderful variety in their complex soils is undeniable. Bright, dark-toned fruits lead into black cherry, blackberry and bramble, framed by spice, bitter herbs and a subtle amaro-like edge. There’s depth here, but also lift and definition. The palate is vibrant and energetic, with a core of juicy dark fruit carried by lively, focused acidity. Savoury notes of crushed herbs and spice sit through the mid-palate, adding shape and detail without weight. Tannins are fine and gently gripping, giving line and structure, while the wine remains fluid and moreish throughout. It finishes long, fresh and savoury, with a persistent herbal and bitter-edged nuance. Single Price: $54.00 Any Six Bottle Buy: $40.00
